I can't imagine any sets of circumstances in which Snape would have
grown up to be *nice* to any people except the ones he *likes* --
maybe Draco, maybe Narcissa, was the way he interacted with those two
in HBP 'nice'? But being less venomously cruel to the ones he
*dislikes* and less mildly cruel to ones he doesn't care about one way
or the other...

Like the song in which Joe Hill appeared at his wake and said: "Don't
mourn for me -- organize!", Dumbledore would those who mourn his loss
to busy themselves with fighting evil and propagating good. He would
say: stop sitting around in the Great Hall and go tutor students,
register voters, pick up the trash in public places...
